THE LESSON IN .ITS 'SETTIN'G '
Time.—Solomon was born in
1041 B.C.,' and, assuming that .he
was about eighteen years of age
:when•this dream came to 'him, the
'date' for the ,episode recorded in
our lesson . ;would' be about 3.022

• 'that.. which • thou hast not asked, .
both riches and •honor; • so . that ...
theire .shall. not be any .among the
kings: like unto • thee, all thy days.

behold; 'it was 'a .dream': And, he
came to Jerusalem;. and. stood , be -
fie. sxk, o,? the covenant of •
.Jehovah;. and offered alp burnt-o.f-

His 'Later: Years '
While the future career- of So-

lesson, 'wne 'ought not to close,,this ,
study :of his life .,without a brief.
reference to the sad history which."
• followed this' remarkable experi-
ence. it was "'doubtless :not one

Place. -The city of Gibeon Was
located five miles northwest Of
Jerusalem, where today the mod -
'ern village bears the name. El=Jib.
The career ' of Solomon , is re -
11:43
corded in. I Kings ,1:33 .to ,
and in I Chron. '2.3:1 •to 2 -Chron.
Solomon was the son of Da-
vid' and Bath -Sheba. • e
• 5,' In Gibeon Jehovah .appeared - ,
to Solomon in 'a dream by night;
• and God said, Ask what I shall
give. Gibeon; and ' Mount Zion
were en the two great centres
of thethnational :worship. " God fre- •
, quently' revealed his will to men`
through dreams.
6.,And, Solomon said, Thou hast
showed unto thy servant David my
father great loving -kindness, ac-
cording as he .walked before. thee
in truth, and in righteousness.
and in uprightness,'of heart, with
thee; and thou hast kept•for 'hina
this great 'loving -kindness, that
thou hast given him a son • to sit .
on his throne, as it is this day.
7. And now, 0�Jehovah my God, '
thou hast madethyservant king
'instead of David .my father: and
I. am but a little child; I know riot
how to •go out or come in. •
8—And thy servant is in the
midst of . thy people which thou
hast chosen, a great people, that
cannot be numbered nor counted
for mtiltitudc. •
9. Give thy servant•therefore an,
. understanding heart to judge thy
people, that I may'discern between.
good arid evil; for who is able to ;,
' judge this thy .great people? The
phrase . "und standing' heart,"
be literary . translated, "a
he.aring heart. • How many, many
•. ;things Solomon could have asked
for hi this most significant hour—
for riehoi, for honor, for glory,
for victory in War, for pleasure.
And yet you vitt see for yourselves.
that wisdom is •really the best gift.
A wise man people want' lo know •
for himself; it is the man • they
care fair and not his belongings.
So that you see' wisdom is really
the highest and hest gift. after
all.
• 10. And thespeech' pleased the
Lord, that Solomon hadasked this'
thing. 11. And God said unto. him,
Because thou hast•asked this thing,
and . hast not asked for; thyself
long life, neither • hast asked rathee •
for thyself, . nor hast 'asked the
life of thine aneme ie s, but bast
asked for 'thyself uilderstanding•to

done according to. thy word: Jo, I
hate given thee a wise and 'in un=
deratandirrg heart •, so that there
hath been none like thee before ,
• thee, neither after thee shall any
arise like unto thee. The extra-
ordinary wisdoth, which 'the, Lord
bestowed •on 'Soloman° in answer
to the Breyer of his,dream at Gib -
eon, ymanifested itself in many
Ways. His masterful .wisdom was
seen in every department of his
life as a man of thought and ale-

around certain river beds.
The stones are sunk flush with
